RUC Express: New Campus Card

Campus Services has put forth much time and energy towards creating a versatile, secure card, called the R/UC Express, a significant upgrade over the former campus card. The R/UC Express can be used across campus for student meal plans, debit transactions, athletic centre admittance, as a bus pass, to check books out of the library and, new to this year, to operate student accessible photocopiers. The first advantage of the new campus card is the embedded magnetic stripe that provides fast, easy transactions with unquestionable security. Second, access on-line allows students to deposit money, monitor their daily transactions, and access their financial statements through the R/UC Express website, www.redeemer.ca/rucexpress. Doreen Gringhuis, Director of Campus Services states, “For as long as you are part of the Redeemer community your new R/UC Express Card will be the single most important piece of student identification you possess. This multi-purpose ID integrates a number of functions that would have previously required you to carry other cards and cash in your pockets”.

Gringhuis also expressed hope that within the next year or two the card will be further advanced to include convenience cash at the campus bookstore; compatibility with laundry and vending machines; swipe locks for dorms; and partnering with off campus venders such as restaurants where students would receive discounts by paying with their card.

Redeemer alumni and former Crown Editor-in-Chief, Julie Konyndyk, designed the R/UC Express card and wrote the brochure that accompanied every card.
